Senior Instructional Designer

About Us

Fivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data.
Together, we’re delivering the data infrastructure layer that helps organizations move, transform, and trust their data — from the moment data moves, through every transformation, to the context teams and AI systems rely on.
 Fivetran helps organizations automate data movement across the systems, clouds, engines, and tools they rely on. dbt Labs pioneered analytics engineering, helping teams transform data into reliable, governed insights. Together, we support thousands of organizations as they build a trusted foundation for analytics, AI, and better business decisions.
 As we bring our teams and technology together, we’re building on the strengths of both companies while continuing to deliver the products and experiences our customers know and trust. It’s an exciting time to join us: we’re creating a company with the scale, talent, and technology to help more organizations put their data to work with greater speed, confidence, and impact.
 During this transition period, you may see references to both Fivetran and dbt Labs throughout our recruiting process as we integrate our teams, systems, and career sites.

About the Role

As a Senior Instructional Designer at dbt Labs, you'll be at the heart of how our sales and go-to-market teams learn, grow, and perform. Reporting to the Director of Enablement, you'll be responsible for designing and building high-quality learning experiences that scale across a global, distributed workforce. The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in adult learning principles, a sharp eye for content structure, and the ability to translate complex product and process knowledge into engaging, practical training. You thrive at the intersection of creativity and rigor equally comfortable storyboarding an eLearning module and collaborating with a subject matter expert to nail the learning objectives. You're also skilled at picking up existing briefs, decks, and raw materials and transforming them into dynamic, polished learning experiences without needing to start from scratch.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop a range of learning content including eLearning modules, instructor-led training, job aids, video scripts, and assessments
• Take existing briefs, slide decks, and source materials and transform them into dynamic, engaging learning experiences that drive real behavior change
• Partner with the enablement team to translate content and curriculum strategy into actionable, field-ready learning assets, bridging the gap between strategic vision and finished training materials
• Partner closely with subject matter experts across sales, product marketing, and revenue operations to gather, structure, and validate content
• Build courses in Articulate Rise, creating interactive, visually compelling modules optimized for a modern learner experience
• Concept, script, and produce microvideos that deliver focused, bite-sized learning on key topics, from product walkthroughs to sales skill reinforcement
• Apply instructional design frameworks (ADDIE, SAM, or similar) to ensure all programs are grounded in clear learning objectives and measurable outcomes
• Build and manage content in our LMS, ensuring a seamless and intuitive learner experience
• Create interactive and scenario-based learning experiences that reflect real selling situations our reps encounter in the field
• Develop certification programs, quizzes, and knowledge checks to assess comprehension and reinforce key behaviors
• Maintain and update existing content as products, messaging, and processes evolve
• Collaborate with the broader enablement team to support live training sessions with well-designed materials, slide decks, and facilitation guides
• Track content engagement and learning outcomes, using data to continuously improve program effectiveness

Skills We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in instructional design, learning & development, or a related field — ideally in a B2B SaaS or tech environment
• Demonstrated ability to take existing briefs, decks, and raw source material and craft them into engaging, high-quality learning content
• Hands-on expertise building courses in Articulate Rise, with strong proficiency across the Articulate 360 suite
• Experience concepting, scripting, and producing microvideos for learning — including recording, light editing, and optimizing for on-demand consumption
• Experience building and managing content in a modern LMS platform, bonus points if it’s Thought Industries 
• Strong writing and storytelling skills — you can make even technical content clear, concise, and compelling
• Familiarity with sales processes and go-to-market motions; experience supporting a sales enablement function is a plus
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-moving environment
• Experience working across time zones and designing for remote, hybrid, and in-person audiences
